I'm Co-owner of LGND fitness co. I've been doing CrossFit for 9 years and did traditional body building before that. I grew up a gymnast, so physical health has always been a big part of my life.  I'm married to my husband Jay, and we have 3 children. In my free time, I love to hike, explore, paddle board, and just enjoy the outdoors.  I'm a certified personal trainer and I also coach gymnastics. Fitness and nutrition are my passion and I love helping people reach their goals.  

Health, wellness, and fitness have been a huge part of my life. I love lifting heavy things and I'm very competitive so I naturally fell in love with the functional fitness world.

Health, wellness, and fitness have been a huge part of my life. I love lifting heavy things and I'm very competitive so I naturally fell in love with the functional fitness world. I'm a huge advocate for health care as opposed to sick care and believe if we take care of our bodies our quality of life will be so much better. I'm married to the owner of the gym, Ellesse, and we have three kids that keep us on our toes. Like Ellesse, I love exploring outdoors and seeing all the wonderful sights that God created. I love seeing people do things they never thought they could. Besides working here, I'm a Family Nurse Practitioner and have also worked in the prehospital setting, and in the emergency department for the last 20 yrs.

 I’m a native to the White Mountains and became part of the CrossFit community in 2015. I love how functional fitness modalities transfer well outside of the gym and helps to support my career and many of my outdoor hobbies. I quickly learned that this is a way of life and not just another fad. I am excited to be able to help share this passion with you and to find ways that we can help support your well-being inside and out of the gym. I remember the first time walking into a class and being intimidated, but let me encourage you by saying this, it is the best choice I have ever made!

Hey everyone! My name is Jake Jessup, I have a beautiful wife and 2 daughters that are put first in front of the rest of the universe! I am CrossFit Level 1  certified and I really have a passion for health and fitness optimization along with coaching hard driven people that strive to be better than the previous day! I enjoy anything mentally tough from mountain biking to hunting, surfing, hiking, martial arts. you name it I've tried it or would love to try it out! I have some pretty cool goals I would like to achieve in the near and far future “but you’ll have to ask to find out” ;). Something that a lot of people don’t know about me is that my body feels optimal on super low/ zero carbohydrates, so yes I am “Keto." But anyways say hi when you see me and I can’t wait to be your coach!

I have been doing this style of workout for over ten years and have been coaching almost that long as well. I love the competition that comes along with it because it pushes me to be better.

I have been doing this style of workout for over ten years and have been coaching almost that long as well. I love the competition that comes along with it because it pushes me to be better. The community here is like no other gym you will find; you will be pushed beyond your limits! I have even traveled across the country to compete in the “The Firefighter Throwdown,” and even made the podium once. I try and compete whenever I can locally as well.

I have been married to my amazing wife for 25 years and we have three adult children we love to vacation with.

Nutrition fact: Bacon should have its own category on the nutritional triangle.

I am a proponent of fitness being for all ages; especially those over 40! I believe once we stop moving is when we shrivel up and die!
